I think it's because, for many people, religion is more a part of their cultural/tribal identity, rather than being a medium for spiritual progress. They see the defacing of Mohamed as being an assault of their people by foreign 'others' who are outside of their cultural/tribal group.

Well, just speaking for me, it's not really a "choice". Paper or plastic is a choice. It's more just weighing the facts known to date. I'm not choosing to believe Zeus does not sit on top of Mount Olympus. I'm merely acknowledging that one can see the top of Mount Olympus and he's not there. Splitting hairs maybe, I know. But there is something odd about saying I "choose" to believe dragons don't exist. If that makes any sense to you.

I'd love to see all advertising on TV "blown up".
But, what good does that do?
And we will be as bad/evil as the Islamics if we advocate such violence.
Note to self and others - turn off the TV and read a book.

The Islamics have to "grow up". Simply stated, many of us have no respect for other people's religion, maybe not good, but that is the way it is in a free society.
Maybe us having a free society causes the Islamics to be hateful and envious of us ???

I took it back in the late nineties. Best class I ever took, by the way.

I agree Logic was one of the best courses I took as well, it should be mandatory that everyone take this class to participate here at DP. Those who do not understand the basic tenets of logic often have no idea how stupid their arguments can look at times, and are ignorant to how easily their "arguments" can be dismissed.

Jerry.. Logic is generally not required for the majority of majors, and is offered as an elective, and it is a damn good elective at that.
